How It Works

Technology

DataNovata is a strategic tool to remodel application data into easy-to-configure application windows on any modern platform.

DataNovata maps an XML blueprint of any relational database schema, analyses and interprets the schema, then generates an Enterprise-aware application with all the data relationships presented within context.

Each DataNovata application UI can be easily customized for data presentation needs. It is easy to add joins or foreign keys that augment the data relationships for better data interpretation. Multiple databases can be consolidated and empty tables ignored. DataNovata's API can be shared with other mediated APIs for seamless data connectivity.

How to budget Your DataNovata Modernization Program

How to Buy DataNovata

Each application requires a unique license key. Application licenses are calculated based on:

the source platform

the number of databases/applications

the length of the license term.

Platform licenses are tiered along predictable platform segments:

Mainframe

Mid-range

Low-end client server

The longer the term, the higher the number of databases or applications included in the license, the greater the economy of scale.

Source Through your Trusted Vendor Partner

The DataNovata Developer Platform is available to IT Solutions Providers as a value-added service to clients. Certified Partner Onboarding and training in DataNovata Certification usually takes 4 - 6 weeks. Talk to your trusted services provider about DataNovata, or talk to DataNovation Ltd. about our existing Certified Partners that may be operating in your region. We are happy to welcome more partners on-board.

Estate Rationalization

In planning your application cost optimization strategy, it is advisable to plan across your entire application estate. Every application you manage has a different operating cost. Rationalizing on a case-by-case basis can leave you with a remnant of applications stuck on legacy platforms. When you rationalize cost-benefits across the broader estate you achieve a measurable ROI and leave nothing behind.

Exercise the Trial License Option

A trial license program will help you determine whether DataNovata is the right strategy for your data modernization, cost optimization and/or data governance strategy. DataNovata technicians will render a proof of concept based on a segment of the database you provide and deliver the DataNovata application for proof of concept (usually 3 - 4 weeks).

You get 60 days to evaluate the PoC application before you need to upgrade to a full application license. Then you can roll the cost of decommissioning into the savings you will gain within your OpEx budget, requiring no additional capital.

Data Quality and Compliance Checks

All data is sourced and verified from the existing client estate. No additional sources of data will be referenced in the creation of the designated Data Application.

The data is verified post-application generation that it reflects accurately the mirror-image of the data source used to constitute the application. Client implementation occurs only after client verification has been reviewed and accepted with full integrity.

All DataNovata-generated applications are 'read-only'. Data augmentation by end-user input is virtually impossible by nature of the application container. All system access is logged within an audit trail.

Database hosting is to client preference, to host within their existing infrastructure or to source a 3rd-party host. DataNovation Ltd. does not host client databases. Access to the DataNovata application can be secured through the client’s existing system access protocols.
